Blurb:
Ryan Marshall’s kid brother has always been trouble. Now, his
brother wants Ryan, ex-DEA agent, to protect the woman he loves from a
notorious, Mexican drug cartel. The second Ryan lays eyes on Hallie Harkins, he
knows he’s made a mistake. Hallie’s blonde beauty and stubborn grit tempt him
like no woman ever has. It’s all he can do to keep his hands off her…and his
heart intact.
Hallie’s worst fears are realized when the man she expects to meet, vanishes. In his place, a disturbingly attractive stranger appears, claiming he’s been sent to protect her. Can she trust him? Or is he working with her pursuers? Following an attempt on Hallie’s life, she and Ryan join forces, embarking on a perilous mission of danger and desire taking them from rural Montana to the sunny shores of Acapulco Bay, and into the clutches of a ruthless killer. Will they survive the mission together and find love in each other's arms?

My thoughts:
Here’s another shocker. It’s a
debut novel as good as many on the best seller lists. I kid you not.
The main characters are fabulous.
Ryan Marshall is a rancher and
ex-DEA agent. He’s the perfect hero; smart, tough, resourceful, protective, and
humble. He’s had enough of living on the edge and has resigned himself to a
solitary existence…until he gets a phone call from his long lost brother. There’s
a lot beneath the surface of this man as the story unfolds.
Hallie Harkin is carving out a
nice comfortable life in the Seattle business community. She’s not prepared to
run, duck, and hide. However, her life takes a drastic turn and everything
changes…including Hallie.
I swear, when the two met a tiny
explosion happened in my mind.
The secondary characters were
amazing as well. They not only filled out the story, they added a lot to it.
The plot was seamless.
I’m not kidding, I ate my dinner
while reading and considered taking it to the bathroom with me. My husband and dog
felt completely neglected. The action never stops. You’re caught in a cyclone
of knife fights, gun fights, racing away on horseback, boat and plane, capture,
escape, rescue and that’s not the end. No stone was left unturned and no
questions were left unanswered.
In a nutshell, it left me
breathless. Congratulations on an excellent first book, C.B. Clark.
